What cookies are used on this website?

On this website, the following are used:

Technical cookies, aimed at ensuring the proper use of the site's contents;

Third-party cookies as a tool for anonymous, aggregated analysis regarding the behaviour of browsers on the website, i.e.: Google Analytics.

Profiling cookies by third parties.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text strings that a website can send, while you are browsing, to the user's device (be it a PC, notebook, smartphone, tablet; they are typically stored directly on the browser used for navigation). The same website that transmitted them, therefore, can read and record the cookies it finds on the device to obtain various kinds of information.

How many types of cookies are there?

There are several types of cookies, with different features. Cookies can be classified, above all, as:

Persistent cookies, which - unlike session cookies - remain inside the device, continuing to operate even after closing the browser and until the expiry of a specified period of time

First-party cookies, i.e. cookies generated and managed directly by the manager of the website which the user is browsing

Third-party cookies, which are generated and managed by parties other than the manager of the website which the user is browsing (under, as a rule, a contract between the owner of the website and the third party).

The two main functional categories are:

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are generally required for the proper operation of the website and to allow browsing; without them, the browser may not be able to properly display pages or use certain services. For example, a technical cookie is essential for keeping a user connected during their entire visit to a website, or for saving the language setting, display setting and so on. Technical cookies can be further distinguished between browser cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example, to carry out a purchase or to allow access to restricted areas); analytical cookies, similar to technical cookies, only where used directly by the website operator, to collect aggregated information on the number of users and on how users visit the site; functionality cookies, which enable users to browse according to set of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the users themselves.

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to promote offers in line with the preferences shown by users within the field of browsing the net. Since these tools are not necessary for the proper functioning of the site, but are only used to enable browsers to be made aware of offers that better suit their needs, Hera S.p.A., to the best of its competence and in accordance with current provisions, provides an updated link to information and consent forms for third parties with which it has entered into an agreement for the installation of cookies through its website.

* The list of third-party profiling cookies is the sole responsibility of the third party
